Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Option Agreement and as permissible under applicable law, no Option shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the life of the

time period permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder so that such targets are considered to be pre-established and so that the attainment of such targets is substantially uncertain at the time of their
establishment. The applicable performance measurement period may not be less than one (1) or more than ten (10) years.

Performance-Based Award may be paid without regard to the satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goal(s) in the event of a Change in Control.

Performance Shares, and the consideration to be received by the Company upon the exercise of or sale of such Awards; (b) to interpret the Plan; (c) to create, amend or rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (d) to
determine the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in, and the form of, Award Agreements; (e) to determine the identity or capacity of any persons who may be entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights under any Award Agreement

subject to any liability with respect to duties under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board or Committee, and any Employee of the Company
with duties under the Plan, who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of such person’s conduct in the
performance of duties under the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 9.1 Change in Control. In
order to preserve a Participant’s rights in the event of a Change in Control of the Company: 
 (a) The
Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Award Agreement the terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of such Award in the event of a Change in Control, and (ii) assumption of such Awards or issuance of comparable
securities under an incentive program in the event of a Change in Control. The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Award Agreement.

 (b) If the terms of an outstanding Option Agreement provide for accelerated vesting
in the event of a Change in Control, or to the extent that an Option is vested and not yet exercised, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Option
for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between: (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction
in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the Exercise Price of the Option. 
 (c) Outstanding Options shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent
that the Options are assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 
 (d) The Administrator shall cause written notice of a proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to Participants not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.

 ARTICLE 10 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
 10.1 Amendments. Subject to
applicable law, including NASD stockholder approval requirements, the Board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable. No such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination
shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award Agreement without such Participant’s consent. The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code
relating to Incentive Options or other types of options which give Optionees more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the date of its adoption. Upon any such alteration or amendment, any outstanding
Option granted hereunder may, if the Administrator so determines and if permitted by applicable law, be subject to the more favorable tax treatment afforded to an Optionee pursuant to such terms and conditions. 
 10.2 Plan Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no Awards may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Award Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 TAX WITHHOLDING 
 11.1 Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a
Participant to remit to the Company in cash, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements with respect to any Options exercised, any Restricted Shares or Performance Shares issued, or any
other Award issued under the Plan. To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities and other laws, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, permit a Participant to
satisfy his or her obligation to pay any such tax, in whole or in part, in an amount determined on the basis of the lowest rate of withholding applicable to such Participant, by (a) directing the Company to apply shares of Common Stock to which
the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Award or as a result of the purchase of or lapse of restrictions on an Award, or (b) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant. The shares of Common
Stock so applied or delivered in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax withholding obligation shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of withholding based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state income
tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 
 11.2 Shares Withheld to Satisfy
Withholding; Restricted Shares or Performance Shares. Any shares of Common Stock received by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1 above with respect to Restricted Shares or Performance Shares above shall not count against the applicable
limits set forth in Article 4 hereof and shall again become available for grant or issuance under the Plan. 
 11.3 Shares
Withheld to Satisfy Withholding; Awards other than Restricted Shares or Performance Shares. Any shares of Common Stock received by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1 above with respect to Awards other than Restricted Shares or Performance
Shares shall be held by the Company as treasury shares and shall count against the applicable limits set forth in Article 4 hereof and shall not again become available for grant or issuance under the Plan.

 ARTICLE 12 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 12.1 Repricings Not Permitted.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator shall not have the authority to cause an adjustment to the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options (a “Repricing”), unless such Repricing is approved by a majority of the
Company’s stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. 
 12.2 Benefits Not Alienable. For so long as it is subject
to any restrictions pursuant to this Plan or an Award Agreement, no Award or interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be
subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment, or any other
legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Plan shall prevent transfers by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution or assignments pursuant to a DRO entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 12.3 No Enlargement of
Employee Rights. This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Participant to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of,
the employment of any Participant. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Participant to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company or to interfere with the right of the Company or any
Affiliated Company to discharge any Participant at any time. 
 12.4 Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Award Agreements, except as otherwise provided herein, will be used for general corporate purposes.

communications that the Company distributes generally to its stockholders.
